The New York Times

Flounder­ing in a sea of change: I still con­sider the New York Times to be the pin­nacle of journ­al­ism, but is it flounder­ing because of the col­lapse of the old guard, and “the cost struc­tures and priv­ileges of the old media are being swept away”?

    I think he’s wrong that it’s in decline due to “lib­eral media bias”. That is just Paul Shee­han being bloo­dy­m­indedly harsh to pla­cate his con­ser­vat­ive crit­ics. How­ever, it’s cer­tainly true that tra­di­tional media is in decline. That is just the nature of the beast. There is a phys­ical limit to how quickly you can pro­duce paper copy, and it is far slower than the news cycles that can be pro­duced via instant com­mu­nic­a­tion on the internet.
